Measurement of charm fragmentation fractions in photoproduction at HERA — •Ganna Dolinska1, Ievgen Korol1, Olaf Behnke1, and Erich Lohrmann21DESY, Hamburg, DE — 2University Hamburg, DE

The production of the D0, D*+, D+, Ds+ and Λc+ charm hadrons in ep scattering at HERA was studied with the ZEUS detector, and the fractions of c quarks hadronising as a particular charm hadron were derived. In addition, the ratio of neutral to charged D meson production rates, the fraction of charged D-mesons produced in a vector state, and the stangeness-suppression factor have been determined. The measurement has been performed in the photoproduction regime, using the full HERA II data set with a total integrated luminosity of 372 pb−1. The charm hadrons were reconstructed in the range of transverse momentum pT(Dc)>3.8  GeV and pseudorapidity |η(Dc)|<1.6. The charm fragmentation fractions are compared to previous results from HERA and from e+e experiments. The data support the hypothesis that fragmentation proceeds independently of the hard production.
